Thread: An new Idea(I havent seen this yet) For scouts to make money
I know this may seem dumb but today while playing SWG the UPS guy came and dropped off 3 boxes. And I thought. Player ran Delivery missions. The deadlier the area or, the item that has a greater value than most (Holos,Krayt tissue, etc) the higher the price. The company could be called GPS(Galactic Postal Service)
Like i said this may seem dumb. But easy money. And for those who wonder why this is on the scout forum, its on here because of the scouts ability to mask scent and run past aggressive creatures with little or no problems.
The only problemswith this is the trust issue Ex: A scout sent to deliver a very good BE helmet might just dissapeer and the guy in charge would have to compensate for the loss. And this could take time out from your game time.
Hi, I like to send 4 Holocrons, 100 Milk, 5 krayt pearls, and 10,000,000 to my friend. I trust you, Can you deliver it for me please.
3things (Im pretty sure ur joking)
1.I havent tried this business yet
2.Most players would take your stuff and dissapeer like I stated before.
3.I am some one who would actually deliver your stuff
O one more thing im on Valcyn
Just seeing if this business appealed to any.
U just have to find verrrrrrrrrry trust worthy people
East,
Unless you've got the most trustworthy player ever - or find a bunch of extremely trusting (trusting to the point of naivety) people, this business just ain't gonna fly.
I love the idea - it's a great idea. Perhaps the devs could develop some kind of sack or case that is password protected - so that only the player who is given the password could access it? That would make this more viable.
Hmm. I think I may just bring this up on the Correspondent forums...

Scouts could be hired to make harvester runs for crafters using a plug-in, password-protected, unslicable container. It holds power and credits for maintenance (pre-programmed for each harvester) and collects the resources.
The payment is also pre-programmed into the container. When it is returned to the crafter (after visiting all the harvesters) the money is automatically transferred to the delivery-boy. Time limits and "defaulting" on the mission would have to be worked out tho.
This would help not only scouts (our terrain negotiation skill would make us the best) but also new players who cannot afford mounts and/or vehicles.
good idea with something like that in the game i can begin planning for GALACTIC DOMMINATION!
East,
My idea on the password protected packs has been fairly well received on the Correspondent's boards. I'm hoping to get some Dev attention on it. I may add it to my list of ideas. Good work. Hopefully we can get this implemented.

Cool.. Works well enough for me. I doubt vehicles will completely wipe out our needs for existence.
I'd be happy to be of use with my Terrain Negotiation.
I could make a guild and call it Fred-Ex !
